Gentleman Ghost by Poe Ghostal
Poe’s note: I find those little energy sparks that came with Superman Blue/Red have an infinite number of uses…
The Statue of Monkey Island
Oh man…if ever I might break my vow to buy only articulated action figures, this may be the thing to do it.
It’s a Monkey Island statue by Symbiote Studios, makers of the excellent Sam & Max statue. (more…)
MOTUC Orko confirmed for 2010
Tucked away in Action Figure Pics’s Q&A was the revelation that Orko will be a part of MOTUC in 2010.
I know that won’t excite all of you, but since there seem to be a good number of He-Fans around here I thought I’d mention it.
The question is, how will he be available? As his own figure? As an accessory to a figure or Battle Cat? In a two-pack with Kowl? As a special incentive for subscribers?

Looking for a Twitter-capable SDCC correspondent
I’m looking for someone who’s going to SDCC, will be attending the Mattel panels (DC and MOTU) and perhaps a few others, and would be able to send Tweets from their phone or some other device during the panels.
If you’re interested, shoot me an email.
Ask Mattel > June 15 Edition
1.) Kevin asks: The 2008 DCUC Wal-Mart wave had no variants. Will there be any variants in this year’s Wal-Mart wave?
No, the Wal-Mart Wave will not have variants.
2.) Frogster asks: Given the popularity of MOTUC, is there any chance of a promotion for the fans (preferably available on Mattycollector.com, not just at conventions) such as posters or mini-comics?
This is something we are looking into and will have more to announce at SDCC.
3.) Reverend Ender asks: Will DCUC see any new Male body types, or will the same standard “thick” and “slender” types (Superman and Nightwing) continue to dominate the line?
Yes, we are working on a few other standard “buck” bodies for the DCUC males, such as a super skinny body and others.
4.) How will DCUC Green Arrow’s bow & arrows work on the production figure? Will one arrow be attached to the bow, and can the arrow be knocked? Will there be separate arrows?
For safety reasons one arrow will be permanently attached to the bow (like with Artemis) with other arrows included as well. This was a legal requirement, not an artistic choice
5.) When DCUC figures are packaged with their weapons in their hands, it often causes the figure’s grip to be too loose, so the figure to be unable to hold the weapon securely once out of the package. Could Mattel please look into this issue?
Yes, this is something we are looking into.

Happy Hordak Day!
Today’s the day! Feel free to use this post to comment on every agonizing yoctosecond of your efforts to order him. And don’t forget Ultraman and Alex Luthor.

Good luck!

DC Direct isn’t known for its SDCC Exclusives–I can’t remember a single one off the top of my head–but that’s gonna change this year.
